'kiss me,' he said. she leaned towards him slowly, until her face was too close to be in focus. her hair fell over peter's shoulder like a curtain and her eyes closed. she smelled like autumn-like apple cider and slanting sun and the snap of the coming cold. he felt his heart scrambling, caught inside the confines of his own body. josie's lips landed just on the edge of his, almost his cheek and not quite his mouth. 'i'm glad i wasn't stuck in here alone,' she said shyly, and he tasted the words, sweet as mint on her breath.

... he didn't know how to say good-bye. his throat ached from the strain of holding back his emotions. “i don't want to leave you,” he said humbly, reaching for her cold, stiff hands. emma lowered her head, her tears falling freely. “i'll never see you again, will i?” he shook his head. “not in this lifetime,” he said hoarsely. she pulled her hands away and wrapped her arms around his neck. he felt her wet lashes brush his cheek. “then i'll wait a hundred years,” she whispered. “or a thousand, if i must. remember that, nikki. i'll be waiting for you to come to me.
